Hard, but rewarding if you talk to him outside of class.

Difficult class taught by a smart guy. Learned the most from his one class

hardass. smart guy, tuff class, if you pass you know the stuff for sure

Hard course, allocate alot of time to them, but when your done you'll know your stuff

Best CS prof by far. Yeah, he's hard, but know your stuff and you're okay. Has clear powerpoints on his website, and quizes/exams use material directly from there - so study them! Don't get intimidated by cockiness - he does it to motivate.

If you want to learn take him, if you you want **** don't.

Demands more than the average teacher for out of class work. Very helpful and explains everything well. Tests are long, but the focus in mostly what was covered in class. You will learn a lot if you put the time in, C-S majors should definitely take him

He's a little arrogant and sometimes he can be over-defensive if there is a misunderstanding, but other than that he is very nice and willing to help point you in the right direction if you let him know you're confused or don't understand something.

Man, this guy knows his stuff. I learned more in this class than any other Computer Science class I've taken. Yeah, it's a tough class and he isn't a pushover when it comes to grading, but it's very clear what you're supposed to know.

great teacher. is a very hard, but his tests are fair. you know what is being asked of you. i think you learn so much from him.

Excellent teacher, very hard but very good. You will spend hours doing his work but you will learn a lot in the process. Fairly vague on helping outside of class but makes you learn it instead of just telling you the answer, recommended.

If you think you know programming, he is definitely the one who can challenge you. So if you wanna learn more take him.

Programing assignments are difficult, but not impossible. He is very clear and helpful in and out of lecture. A good profesor for C-S Majors

This class wasn't as bad as everyone makes it sound. I liked him as a prof.

Witty guy that teaches a tough class. Get to talking to him, and you'll do better. Very helpful when approached.

Everyone complains because I'm sure they don't start their assignments until the night before they are do. Get them done early, read the text and be sure to take good notes in class and you'll be fine. Just because you are forced to learn in this class, it doesn't mean it's bad.

He is the man! If you think his class is hard, then read the book. Computer Science is a field based on reading the book!

He is a tough teacher but I think he is the best in the department. If you want to work hard you will learn a lot. May come off as a "hard ass" but is really a very nice guy. Extremely smart.

i really liked him...helped us understand material before moving on.

Excellent teacher. He is really friendly and knows his stuff. You will learn something when you are in his class.

he kinda puts me to sleep when he lectures and grades pretty hard, but he really knows his stuff and can explain it in a way that is very understandable

Definetly one of the most challenging professors i've had. He certainly has that repuation in the CS department. seperates the men from the boys. Do not expect this class to be easy.

He teaches what you need to know. The rest is up to you, but thats how it is in any C-S class, if you're looking for an easy way through a C-S requirement take 101. If not I would recomend Hunt. Easy going guy who knows his stuff

Hunt is a good guy however for a Cs 120 class hes is very hard, compared to all the others. He expects alot and is very picky and anal(which he admits). This can be a good thing in the end if your a cs major because you will come out strong in this class, but if your not your going to have to put a lot of time into this class to do well.

class was very interesting to me and I actually picked up a c-s minor because of this class. prof. hunt is a great prof and very smart. class is engaging and challenging and was the best class i've had in 3 years here. highly recommended.

Tough professor, at least for tests. He's a pretty good guy, but he has an inflated ego and always has a smug look on his face. He makes a point to proclaim himself as an "expert Java programmer". In my book, though, he's still a little smirking man with a huge ego. All hail Kenny Hunt, Expert Java Programmer.

a little harder and more particular than the rest, but he prepares you better too, so it all evens out in the end. gives a good base and intro into programming and you will be better for it

This class is not a lot of fun. He goes over it pretty thoroughly though- maybe a little too thoroughly... I mean, we know how to change the font in a spreadsheet! But tests were pretty easy... It's not his fault the material isn't exciting.

Kenny is a really nice guy. He can be a bit monotone in his lectures, but if it is something you are interested in, he will definately teach you something. He knows a lot about what is teaching and will help you with homework, but he won't give you solutions, which helps you solve the hw's for yourself and definately benefits you.

Not a bad teacher, his lectures are just really boring. I rarely went to class and still did well. Overall really easy class

awsome guy.

He's a nice guy...but this class is really annoying. Each point is a % of your grade...so literally every single point matters...study, actually read through the book...try your hardest to pay attention...and trust me, it's hard.

Dr. Hunt is the coolest!

Ken is a great teacher after you have had Thomas Gendreau. I have always been good with computers, so this class was a breeze for me. If you are technologically declined, just go to class and pay attention, do the tutorials, and you will be fine.

Very hard teacher. Tests are impossible to prepare for and are worth about 80% of the class where as the projects are about 20%, if that. The projects are tough and show your true knowledge of the subject but the tests are what screw you. Boring class.

Overall Hunt has good intentions but if you're taking CS 120 for general credit the demands are really high. The fact is the class demands so much time and if it isn't your concentration then you can't keep up. He grades super hard and the way he teaches is not concrete... in other words he'll teach a concept and expect you to apply it without help

This class is why I am now a CS major. Came in with no prior experience or real interest. Came out a coding machine!! No matter what you say about the guy, you have to admit -- you learned something! (For those of you in 103/104.. how would you like to teach 400 computer illiterate freshmen at once? Yeah I wouldn't be pumped either.)

For a good grade, you need to actually go to class, stay awake and do the homework. Hunt is a great professor, it just doesn't show in CS104, the class can be a little boring. Don't expect a free A just because it's Excel.

On the first day he'll make it seem like he is going to make the class fun. That does NOT last. The tests are not terrible, but the project is fairly vague, I turned mine in today and am pretty unsure of how I'll do.

Exams are quite easy (no tricky question), but the project takes you a lot of time to understand what he really wants. His power point slides are funny and covers all the materials you need. No need to take notes.

Good teacher and a likable Christian man. Gives quizzes on random days, totaling about 7 or 8, so attendance is important, though your worst quiz scores (one or two of them, can't remember) are thrown out. Only downside is that his assignment sheets and source code provided can sometimes be vague, unclear, or even contain compilation errors.

He's a decent teacher and the lectures make sense, but overall the class was fairly hard. Do the tutorials and start on the project early and get help soon if you need it, and know that it takes several hours to complete. He grades on a curve.

Not everyone has a knack for computer science. Though, if you don't get a decent grade in this class, it is not because of the professor. He is very concise. Tests are fairly easy -- practice tests are provided that cover practically everything you might encounter on the test. Go to class, look over notes, and study the exams and practice tests.

One of the best professors in the department. He explains the material thoroughly at a slightly slower pace, so you'll understand the concepts very well, which is nice. Attendance is optional. Very helpful in answering questions and debugging. Homework was easy and tests contained no surprises. Great professor overall.

His class is pretty boring and difficult to understand if you don't have any background with computers. He is not a bad teacher if you know a little bit about computers. He just teaches a difficult subject to understand.

There's no point in taking one of his classes if you're not ready to work hard. This is the hardest class I've taken, coming from a Junior. It was a lot of fun, too! Besides him being a bit condescending at times, there's really nothing to complain about. He's quite intelligent, and there's lots of learn from him.

Easily the hardest class I've ever taken, but at the same time one of the most rewarding. Prof. Hunt is not very clear at times on what he wants you to do for certain parts of assignments. If you want to get a good grade you absolutely must ask him questions or meet with him during office hours. Only take this class if you have a lot of free time.

Graduated in 2012. After 5-6 years in the real world, I'm happy to have taken classes with Dr. Hunt. He expects effort, he challenges students, and yeah - he gives quite a bit of homework. After graduation, when you're working your first job, you'll be happy you tried hard and became a better developer. Well worth the time.

Best CS professor at La Crosse, if you want to learn. If you are here to just get a degree take the other professors. If you want to learn take Dr. Hunt. He'll make you work for it, but the work is well worth the knowledge.

Dr. Hunt is a lecture heavy professor whom conveys the material in an easy to understand way. There are weekly quizzes on Friday's as well as a few individual assignments over the semester. He is a very knowledgeable, caring and funny person who wants you to learn.

His homework is rewarding but very time consuming. Homework will often have bugs that will later be re-clarified and need changing even if it's due on that day. No quizzes, but exams are heavily weighted. Take this course if you have plenty of time. I'd suggest finding a group to collaborate with. Expect to type and write code.....

Extremely easy 1 credit class, where you just have to participate to get an A. You work on fun problems once a week and get practice using different data structures and algorithms. Helps you prepare for interviews.

Professor Hunt does a great job relaying information through his lectures and demonstrates a clear understanding of the topics. He understands that students are there to learn and gives plenty of examples of the information being learned. Most people that don't enjoy his class do not ask questions, so don't be afraid to go to his office hours!

This is a tough class in general. Dr. Hunt did an amazing job!

From what i've read, dont take him for FYS. But as a CS major? He's a perfectly fine teacher and he explains things very well. If you participate do the work and try in his class he appreciates that and will show it. Homework load for a entry level class is kinda nuts 7 - 8 hours on 1 assignment but you get a week to do them though. 8 / 10.
